| Publisher Description: The technical report embodied in this volume is a compilation of articles reflecting the current state of knowledge on the physics, chemistry, astronomy, and aeronomy of small bodies in the Solar System. The articles reported here represent the most recent scientific results in meteor, meteoroid, and related research fields and were presented at the Meteoroids 2010 Conference. Meteoroids 2010 was the seventh conference in a series of meetings on meteoroids and related topics, which have been held approximately every 3 years since the first one celebrated in 1992 in Smolenice Castle, Slovakia. The 2010 edition was the first time the conference was held in the U.S.; the last three meetings were held in Barcelona, Spain (Meteoroids 2007), London, Ontario, Canada (University of Western Ontario, Meteoroids 2004), and Kiruna, Sweden (Swedish Institute for Space Physics, Meteoroids 2001). The 2010 meeting took place at the Beaver Run Resort in Breckenridge, CO, USA on May 24-28, 2010, surrounded by the spectacular scenery offered by the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains. Researchers and students representing more than 20 countries participated at this international conference. |
